Great snow in the resort I'm going at the moment, 30cm of snowfall last night.

I can't wait to get back down to the mountains. Going in a couple of weeks again for a long weekend.

Quick clip of end of Jan. Though it dumped so much, it wasn't good cam weather!

Been told there's been an accident with the chairlift up at the Lecht.

Edit: Looks like it's come completely off the rails at the top.

Any chance of a non facebook link?

Yea, I'll slap it on Youtube, I didn't have the file with me to do it the other day. Give me a min. It's pretty crappy, mind, sucky sleet and snow, but fantastic to ski in!

bit of a teaser from last year...

I'm the stupidly brightly coloured one 2nd down. No one had those colours last year and now everyone does!

Not sure you can claim to have started bright blue and green

Me from 5 years ago...

randomshenans · 14 Feb 2013 at 10:03

haha not claim to start, but it wasn't rife throughout the entire mountain.

I might go back to my tweed burton ronin to be different ha

La Toussuire a week on Friday. Can't wait .

Enjoy. We went there 10 years ago for a couple of years running when it was a completely French resort. I see that there is an English section of the website now.

I've been a few times in winter, and a few times in Summer. It's gorgeous at both times of year, even if it is a tiny ski resort.

Well I have a bank holiday on Monday, so last night we decided we're off to our place for the weekend.

You have to love being 2.5hrs away from your mountain retreat! (read: apartment, but shhh)

platypus · 15 Feb 2013 at 10:24

Yeah, very jealous.

Absolutely perfect forecast for next week. Setting off at 5pm

Sod this, work is a crusty jizz sock of a day. I'm off.

Watching so many videos today at work of Torstein Horgmo sessioning side hits. I want to go away again so much. Southern hemisphere warm up season before Japan I think.

Where about? I spent a few weeks in Chile and Argentina a few years back and it was awesome. Would love to go back again sometime.
